Re: I may be sued

First, a suit against you for money damages is civil not criminal.

Assuming a civil summons and complaint is served upon you, you should retain an attorney to advise/represent you as a civil judgment can be obtained by default if you fail to file an answer and the judgment can become an execution that can be levied agaisnst any realty you own or against any wages or other funds to which you are, or become, entitled. Good Luck! How do you know you are about to be sued?
